Good Dog Retirement Home

Sweet Button got to go on an adventure last weekend!

hnbarescue posted about an older gal, Moo, and we thought she looked an awful lot like Button. Both dogs were picked up by multcopets and they had a ton of similarities, both medically and visually.

We planned a meetup with Moo’s foster, and these two got to meet/be reacquainted! We aren’t sure if they’re siblings since they didn’t seem to recognize each other, but we’re not ruling it out either ♥️

Today we said goodbye to the smartest little dog we’ve ever met. Speed puzzle solver extraordinaire, half of the Thelma and Louise duo known as Peanut and Baby, and just all around best ever poodle doodle bean.

She taught us to slow down, be present, and enjoy the little things in life like sunshine and warm blankets.

We love you babu bean and we will miss you.

Goodbye Baby Baby. You were the best little princess piggy. We will miss your howling and your snuggles and your really wonky run. You were such a spunky little sass and it was an honor to give you a home for the last 15 months of your life.

She was originally a hospice foster from Hazel's House but we adopted her pretty quickly. She came from a hoarding house and was emaciated but we brought her all the way up to 3.5lbs at her peak. She was the most wonderful little nakey girl.

Love you sweet girl.
